Willie McCreery doesn’t have too many runners over jumps but did have a couple of winners over timber last season and gave updates on those horses at Dundalk on Friday night.

Party Dress, a winner at Thurles almost a year ago, scored on the Flat at Limerick this summer but disappointed on her most recent outings. She could head over fences now in the New Year.

Coul Dreamer, winner of a three-year-old hurdle 12 months ago, is on the sidelines however.

"Coul Dreamer has just got a tiny little setback again,” said the Curragh handler.

"Party Dress, I don't know what to do. I've given her a little break at the moment. I might bring her back in in a couple of weeks and aim for a few novice chases in early January or something.

"I'll let all the good ones get out of the way and then we will try to hoover up!"
